I've been in French Polynesia for the last 12 days. Every single day the forecast has been 80%+ chance of thunderstorms for all the next 5 days. In reality, mostly, the weather has been absolutely perfect. Two days it's rained for maybe an hour. Today (4/21) is the first full day of rain in Bora Bora. I wouldn't worry too much, especially if you've got 6 nights booked this time of year. You should have fine weather for most of your stay.

If any one has transportation suggestions I'd appreciate those as well, thanks!
At the location marked "Ferry and Boat Point" on Google Maps. It's on the western side of the island of Bora Bora, about halfway up the island. The Conrad can arrange to have a taxi waiting when you get to Vaitape. Alternatively, I think a number of nearby restaurants offer complimentary transportation in the evenings. I used a local taxi driver (not pre-arranged) named Dora who was great, speaks perfect English, and has a new vehicle. Dora Taxi: +689-89-73-49-57. Taxi fare seems to be a flat 1500 XPF for any of the restaurants on the western side of Bora Bora. I just came over today to have lunch at Bloody Mary's given its been raining all day so not great pool/beach weather for the first time.
